The iOS platform is full of original programs. What's more, most apps and games don't make it to Android until weeks after being released on the iPhone. Nevertheless, owners of Android devices will now also be able to boast of amazing applications that iOS users will only envy.
uTorrent
uTorrent is a free client for BitTirrent networks. The program is unable to go to iOS for two reasons:
- due to the closed nature of the operating system;
- because of Apple's tough stance in the war on piracy.
Having a full-fledged torrent client on a mobile device is a significant advantage. There are many types of content (completely free and legal) that are much easier to download "from torrent" than from other sources.
Android owners have the opportunity, without connecting to a computer, to very quickly download a movie, book, software or musical composition to their device. Isn't it so much more convenient than long syncing of i-devices via iTunes. You can download uTorrent without paying on Google Play.
Nova Launcher
In order for the smartphone to look and function exactly as you want, it is possible to change the display settings. For example, you can bring especially needed options to the main plan, or assign them ordinary gestures like double-clicking on the display.
Android owners have every chance to do this by installing any of the many launcher apps on Google Play. However, owners of iOS devices to customize the shell will need to undertake a very serious jailbreak procedure, which can lead to a decrease in reliability and damage to the protection of the device.
Nova Launcher is one of the best launchers out there. The application works quite stably, looks like a "stock" Android. There are many themes developed for the program with a lot of interesting settings. The app can be downloaded from Google Play for free.
Tasker
A powerful action planner for a smartphone that provides the ability to organize the activities of the device down to the smallest detail. Such an Automator service is considered a mandatory part for Mac OS X, but there are no analogs for the iPhone in nature.
With the support of this application, the user will be able to determine how the mobile phone will behave in 200 different environments, based on the time span, location and other features.
For example, when visiting a library or classroom, the cell phone goes silent. If you understand the settings of the Tasker application, you can automate almost everything. The Tasker app can be downloaded from Google Play. The cost of the application is 100 rubles.
Smart IR Remote
Advanced smartphones based on the Android operating system have an infrared port. When installing the special Smart IR Remote application, an ordinary phone can turn into a real remote control. No more looking for a TV remote or changing batteries. Now the remote control will always be at hand.
Smart IR Remote app allows you to work with 700,000 devices. It is possible to create special macros and widgets. It is not necessary to open the program - when using other applications, Smart IR Remote is minimized into a small window.
For iPhone owners, this functionality is not yet available. The Smart IR Remote app can be downloaded from Google Play for 300 rubles. The application has free counterparts, with a less convenient set of functions.
Light flow
Almost all Android smartphones have an LED indicator. This is a small light that notifies you of missed calls and messages. iPhones do not have this option.
With the Light Flow app, each alert type can be customized with a different light bulb color. The user selects a specific color for a call, SMS or reminder. The application will save time and battery power. The program is available for free download on Google Play.
